Spiced Apple and Fudge Cake

It is a wet and windy day here in Orkney so I thought I would make a comforting cake to have this afternoon with coffee. I had never made this before so it was a bit of an experiment. I had a block of Orkney fudge and some apples which were quite bashed so perfect for cooking rather than eating fresh. I also like that as it close it Easter I use lots of spices in my cooking like cinnamon and mixed spice.

Wedding plans are still a slow burner at the moment, but I’m hoping that once gets home things will start picking up. I’m still in the midst of wedding cake ideas, two tiers or three, flowers or sugar paste decoration… I think all of these decisions will be much easier once I have a date so the season, colour scheme and flowers can be decided upon.

This cake has quite a crumbly texture and is wonderful to enjoy with creme fraiche to cut through the sweetness. It is perfect for a rainy Sunday.
